These comments have the internet in a heated discussion about male and female relationships.

On social media, Mike Pence began to trend following the publishing of the Washington Post article about Karen Pence.

With some supporting his marriage rule, saying “Prayers for you and your wife your marriage is beautiful!! Something we should all strive to have in our own.”

Another tweeted “The women upset by Mike Pence treating his wife like a queen only wish they had a man like Pence. Women should be respected.”

While others were not pleased with the setup.

The BBC gathered certain tweets from both sides, showing that one person said, “The problem w/ this Pence/meal thing is that it suggests that every interaction w/ a woman is potentially a sexual thing.”

"Trying to imagine what my career would look like if I'd refused to dine solo with male editors & interview subjects,” another woman posted.
